A Croatian website has published very detailed figures about Mario Vuskovic’s transfer from Hadjuk Split to Celtic.

The defender has been mentioned as a possible transfer target over the last two weeks but across the weekend it seems to have firmed up as Ange Postecoglou looks to make his first signing.

On Friday the Australian made a strong impression as he faces various elements of the media but a similar impact will be required on the pitch with a squad that is looking threadbare at best.

Croatian website Sport HKE reports:

Mario Vuskovic is about to leave for Celtic, and the transfer could at best, with bonuses, reach 6 million euros. The basic, fixed part, should amount to up to five million euros, which includes additional payments depending on how much Vuskovic will play and what kind of placement will be achieved by the redesigned Celtic under the leadership of Ange Postecoglou , a 55-year-old Australian, who worked on Thursday afternoon. first training in the role of Celtic manager.

Although Hadjuk claimed that there was no hurry regarding the sale of Vuskovic, Celtic was persistent and it is not excluded that the deal will be completed next week. Vuskovic should have an annual salary of up to 700,000 euros (gross). A huge step forward for a player who earned 85,000 euros a year in Hajduk.

As things stand Postecoglou has four central defenders to select from against Midtjylland but Kris Ajer appears to be looking for a move while Chris Jullien has still to play a match this year as he recovers from knee surgery.

Stephen Welsh and Nir Bitton look like the central defensive partnership most likely to face the Danes although they could soon be joined by Vuskovic.
